5th year anniversary approaching...

... and we don't even control the Green Zone!
Iraq: rockets or mortars hit Green Zone
Fri Feb 22, 2008
BAGHDAD - A series of rockets or mortars were fired toward the U.S.-protected Green Zone early Saturday, a day after radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his Mahdi Army militia fighters to cease attacks for another six months.
This is simply absurd!

How's the road to the Baghdad airport?
Can civilians drive it without fear?

Five years, 5000 combat deaths, $500,000,000,000.
For what?

Please, I really want to hear someone, anyone articulate a comprehensible "strategic objective" regarding Iraq.

What will Iraq look like when we've achieved "victory"?

Will it look like Liechtenstein? Like Angola? Like Zambia? Like Mexico?
Honestly, I'm curious - I want to know!

If no one can articulate a comprehensible end state, why are we there?

Stop the madness!
